Ochronosis in differential diagnosis of patients with chronic backache: a review of the literature.
    Rheumatology international, 2007, Volume: 28, Issue:1

    A 50-year-old man presented with a complaint of low-back pain and widespread joint pain for the previous 20 years. Conventional radiography revealed wide areas of calcification in the intervertebral discs and degenerative changes in the peripheral joints. A diagnosis of ochronosis was made by the observation of bluish-brown pigmentation in the nose and ears, dark urine colors following alkalization, and high levels of homogentisic acid in the urine. Ochronosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with chronic low-back pain regarding features of widespread calcification in the intervertebral discs at radiography and bluish-brown pigmentation in the nose and ears.

Case Report: Uncommon cause of limp in the 21
    Frontiers in endocrinology, 2022, Volume: 13

    Scurvy results from a deficiency of ascorbic acid. This disease first appeared in children during the 19th century with the emergence of new dietary habits; in particular, heating milk that leads to a loss of ascorbic acid. Even though scurvy has become a rare condition in western countries, many cases are still reported in pediatric patients, especially in those who lack proper nutrition due to neurological or psychiatric illnesses. Symptoms include bleeding and swollen gums, loosening of teeth, bone abnormalities, arthralgia, delayed wound healing, anemia, petechiae, and purpura. Bone lesions are mainly irregularities of long bones metaphyses. We report the case of a five-year-old boy who presented with arthralgia and limb deformation (genu valgum). The patient was investigated for vitamin deficiencies to exclude rickets. The radiologic investigations revealed metaphyseal signs compatible with scurvy. During the hospitalization, the patient was observed to have abnormal eating patterns and the scurvy was attributed to malnutrition. Although the occurrence of scurvy is rare, it remains essential to detect this disease in children at risk of developing vitamin deficiencies. Without targeted treatment, the complications of scurvy can be serious and potentially fatal.

Vitamin C Deficiency-Induced Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension.
    Chest, 2020, Volume: 157, Issue:2

    We report a case of a man in his 60s who developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in association with profound vitamin C deficiency. Decreased availability of endothelial nitric oxide and activation of the hypoxia-inducible family of transcription factors, both consequences of vitamin C deficiency, are believed to be mechanisms contributing to the pathogenesis of the pulmonary hypertension. The PAH resolved following vitamin C supplementation. The current case highlights the importance of testing for vitamin C deficiency in patients with PAH in the proper clinical setting.

Scurvy presenting with limp and weakness: a case report.
    BMC pediatrics, 2019, 07-06, Volume: 19, Issue:1

    Scurvy is one of the oldest diseases known to mankind. Although presently rare in the developed world, scurvy was a common potentially fatal disease. In recent times, the most common risk factors for scurvy include alcoholism, low socioeconomic status, and severely poor nutrition or dietary restriction secondary to psychiatric illness or developmental disorders. Our case demonstrates the importance of having a high index of clinical suspicion of an uncommon disease in developed countries and emphasizes the necessity of a dietary screening that could potentially reduce extensive work-up in patients with nonspecific complaints.. We report a case of a 3-year-old previously healthy female originally seen in the rheumatology clinic for limp. She developed weakness and was admitted to the hospital for further evaluation. She underwent extensive diagnostic testing including blood work, magnetic resonance imaging, lumbar puncture, electromyogram, and nerve conduction studies. Ultimately, her vitamin C level returned undetectable. She had immediate and complete improvement upon starting vitamin C supplementation.. Despite being developmentally appropriate, our patient's refusal to eat fruits or vegetables had limited her diet, emphasizing the importance of obtaining a diet history in a child presenting with an unknown diagnosis. In addition, our patient had no other characteristic features of scurvy, which further supports the need to consider this diagnosis in a child presenting with lower extremity weakness or abnormal gait.

Persistent parvovirus B19 viremia with chronic arthralgia treated with ascorbic acid: a case report.
    Journal of medical case reports, 2015, Jan-05, Volume: 9

    According to some studies, ascorbic acid possesses antiviral properties. These studies were mainly focused on the common cold, with very few focusing on other viral infections.. We report the case of a 54-year-old Caucasian woman with chronic arthralgia due to persistent parvovirus B19 viremia. High doses of ascorbic acid treatment were initiated due to the failure of conventional analgesic therapy. Clinical benefit was observed with a simultaneous loss of biological parvovirus B19 viremia.. This observation shows a potential benefit of the use of ascorbic acid against parvovirus B19 infections, even if this case is not sufficient to draw any definite conclusions.
